Touchless aircraft washing
Reduces aircraft downtime to 20 minutes, where a manual wash takes up to 6 hours with considerable human-factor risk.
Projects
MSG is promoting its unique washing systems worldwide. Here are some examples of active projects.
Aircraft touchless wash and maintenance
A leader in green aviation technology
Founded on a vision of innovation and environmental stewardship, MSG stands at the forefront of revolutionising aircraft touchless wash and maintenance. In 2009 our founder, Svein Gunnar, conceived a ground-breaking automated method for touchless washing and de-icing of aircraft, leading to the establishment of MSG in 2016. This approach has attracted over €5m in research and development funding from regional, national and European sources, and earned the Seal of Excellence from the European Innovation Council in 2016 and again in 2022.
MSG’s dedication to sustainable solutions was further demonstrated by the unveiling of a full-scale prototype at Skien Airport in 2019, with plans for the first commercial system at Oslo Gardermoen airport. Under Svein Gunnar’s leadership, the company has executed several complex, multi-partner innovation projects, and was recognised with Entrepreneur and Environmental awards in 2017 and 2018.
